Carbohydrate Poisoning

If you do even just a little bit of research regarding today's major diseases of obesity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, heart and cholesterol problems, inflammation, gall bladder disease, liver imbalances, etc., you quickly come to the understanding that at the core of all of these problems is an inability of the body to deal with carbohydrates. And that cutting carbohydrates is the only way to control these types of problems.

But getting that idea into the heads of those who can really do something about it, convincing them that Insulin Resistance is at the heart of most of the health problems of society, is a whole other matter. Because carbs are doing more than just poisoning our bodies. They are also poisoning our minds.

You can hardly turn on the television these days without being blasted with unfounded nutritional ideas such as starting our mornings out right with high carb cereals, milk does a body good, or diet center dogma tooting their plan separates good carbs from bad, so carbs are no longer off limits. Eat up. Drink up.

We are such a sugar addicted society, that we of the Pepsi generation have turned a blind eye to WHO is really feeding us our nutritional information these days. Who is controlling what we put into our mouths. And we believe it, because we want to believe it. Because it's easier to believe it. Because it is more delicious and self-serving and indulgent to believe it.
Not because it is TRUE.

The Processing Food and Drug Industries are relatively new creations. Before they came into existence, by the way, things like heart attacks didn't exist. Yet we have allowed our metabolisms to be attacked and destroyed by their ridiculous notions that the members of our Coke-cake-candy-catsup-cookies-potato chip culture deserve a break today.

One of the most interesting phenomena seen among the low/no carb nay-sayers is what they are stuffing into their mouths at the same time they are calling our diet unhealthy. They swear we are killing ourselves by eliminating or cutting down heavily on carbohydrates, because after all, a body can't live without carbs, at the same time they are stuffing their mouths with sugary-laden junk foods like potato chips and Hostess cupcakes, chased down by high-fructose (corn syrup) sweetened soft drinks. And yet a great portion of our society believes that nonsense.
